1. exiting deep nested loops
If you have deep nested loops just
simply enclose the loop in a procedure
and just do a return to break out. This
also allows you to use multiple exit points.
That doesn't require changing the interpeter.

Agreed, though it looks more like a trick than a feature. I don't think
exit (n) would be so *hard* to do. Besides that, it'll be used right
where it's needed not somewhere else.

It isn't, the goto wasn't hard to do either.

You mean right were *you* want it, and not were others would like it too.
Exit() is a goto() in sheep clothing.

Why should we work around the interpreter ALL THE TIME.
just a little change please Rob?

But you had to pass private variables to the procedure, and what if you
modify them?
